Emile Pinet Poet Verse

Blink Out

Life can feel
       like free-falling
           face first
              into the wind.
                You can’t control its
                   duration
                    or speed,
                     so, why try?
                    Enjoy
                   the weightless 
                 sensation
              of flight as you fall,
           aware that someday your 
       life...
will simply blink out.

Paul Callus September 5, 2019 at 9:06 AM I truly enjoyed this free-falling poem, Emile. Perhaps I ought to have a go at parachute jumping, and enjoy the weightless sensation of flight!
